Paul, you are quite correct that this is a good arena to ask genuine questions, and there is a wealth of experience here, from LAA (PFA) flyers, through warbirds, up to ATPL’s. As a rule, it is pretty supportive and friendly place, and if you hang around for a while, you are quite likely to be offered some flying and some hands-on experience. It is not usually a flame-fest, and egos are generally under control, or as much as they can be in aviation!
However, some ‘ contributors’, especially ones who pop up on a first post and then ask a question which seems verging on the inane, and then add a big ironic grin, are difficult to take seriously, and are probably taking the micky out of us, rather than the other way round. It is not terrible thing to do, but it is mischevious, and invites flippant responces.
What sort of flying are you doing ? Are you anywhere neer Sturgate, or maybe operating out of one of the strips which Lincs seems to have a few of ?
